You know, people always ask me like, did you always know this was inside of you? Well, I didn’t really know. Although one night, I did have an inkling, it was about four or five years ago, we’re taking off from a house, we just delivered packages and I looked down and I see a rooftop with patterns of our hooves in the snow and it was beautiful. And it – and it led to my first work.

LAST DECEMBER,
SANTA BOUGHT A TOYOTA PRIUS.

This is called lost in Santa’s beard.

FOR THE REINDEER,
THAT MEANT IT WAS TIME TO MOVE ON.

And that’s me, trying of being consumed by a very powerful figure of Santa and having no identity.

TURNS OUT, IT WAS THE
BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THEM.

So once The Prius came into my life and he brought this Prius and opened me up to a whole other new horizon.

Well, you know what happened was uh… uh… Santa made some changes, he bought a Prius. I understand it, you know, great car, great fuel efficiency, great for the environment and if anybody can appreciate the environment, you know – me.

And it changed my life for the better. I mean – I didn’t expect it to be able to tap in the kind of – into the kind of – I don’t know, I guess the kind of emotion that I – that I feel when I paint.

Impressions
by Cupid the Reindeer
When Santa bought a Toyota Prius, I quickly found myself without work and thus, without purpose. But there, lost in that forest, I realized I was an artist without a creative outlet. I was meant to be a painter and now was my chance to pursue that dream. My paintings are conceptually layered pieces; combinations of social, political, cultural and animalistic statements. I hope you enjoy my work.

[Paul Mecurio (Comedian):]
I felt like I was sort of denying who I was, almost trying to be human when I couldn’t be human, you know. I am what I am, I’m a reindeer.

Now, some people say, well, do you bring a unique perspective to art? I think so, I’m a reindeer. I mean, what, probably how many reindeer painters are there out there. Three maybe, at the most, and – and I feel that in sort of bringing that unique perspective why am I holding back? You know, really go for it!

So through the impressions I able to say not just in the technique but what that impression looks like, what am I saying – what this – you know, and then there will be some days where I’m angry and then it’ll be a hard impression, you’ll see it, it will be wide, right. And then there will be others where I’m feeling I want to be gentle. Just a light touch, just a light touch to say: ‘hey world, I can embrace you, you can embrace me’, and I’m not.

I tend to work mostly in the motifs of the traditional Christmas colors of red, white and green. And I think that’s to be honest with myself, a fear of cutting completely the ties to my previous life. And I was upset with myself because I thought, well, you’re not being courageous.

You know, art is courage, art is putting yourself out there. Art is saying to the world, this is who I am.

You know, looking into the eyes of fear and saying, you can’t beat me, fear, you know, just – but then I said well what are you beating yourself up for it? This is a cathartic process, you have to go through levels of emotionality and changing grows an artist.

Santa, Santa!

I can honestly say that if this Prius thing didn’t happen, I wouldn’t be an artist of any kind.
